      Verdict

      Daire Davis can claim his full 10lb allowance today having partnered the progressive SURE TOUCH to victory at Chepstow last time. The latter can go in again effectively racing off a lower mark today. Maiden hurdle winner Dedanser failed to complete at Ayr and course and distance winner Spike Jones is preferred with last month’s comeback under his belt. The forecast rain doesn’t look ideal for Hexham winner Balkotic.
